What color is Sherwin Williams Secret Cove?
Sherwin Williams Secret Cove SW 9058 is a muted blue-green with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its medium depth gives walls enough color presence while still reading soft and airy in daylight. Cooler lighting can bring forward its blue side, while warmer bulbs may reveal a slightly dustier, greener look. Secret Cove suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and home offices, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or natural linen. It can also make a handsome choice for cabinetry or a painted front door when paired with light stone and warm wood accents.

LRV of Secret Cove
Secret Cove has an LRV of 25.43% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 25.43%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
